PCI Express Primer #1: Overview and Physical Layer

Introduction This is the first in a set of articles giving an overview of the PCI Express (PCIe) protocol. This is quite a large subject and, I think, has the need to be split over a number of separate, more manageable documents and, even so, it is just a brief introduction to the subject.

Report on platform-compliance for cargo directories

When you use the Rust programming language toolchain, usually through a cargo command, it needs a place to store a bunch of config files, caches, and the cargo binary itself.

Greg KH responds with his thoughts about Rust in the Linux kernel project.

This is what leadership looks like: Setting expectations, addressing concerns, and thoughtfully expressing opinions for the community to discuss. 👏

I don't think most people have any idea just how shoestring FOSS is. Even when it is "well funded", we're often working with 10% the resources of the corporate teams. Often times it's literally just some person doing a thing.
